Rainbow
Body and Thusness's Advise to Me
In my Facebook group "Dharma Connection" there happens to be many
Dzogchen practitioners around so I posted this as it may interest
them as I think it may also interest you as a reader. I've also
posted some comments by Thusness below. (note: Thusness is not a
Dzogchen practitioner so whatever he said need not be indicative of
Dzogchen, just the practice and experience between us)
Thusness said to me:
"As I suspected (thumbs up) I mean the rainbow body. That can
only be done after realization of twofold emptiness and intensity
of luminosity into the three states (waking, dreaming, deep
sleep)... you are doing pretty well. The integration has been
progressing well of the non-dual bliss into your deep sleep state,
in view of the short period after your realization of anatta. The
inner core must completely disappear and the intensity of
luminosity must heighten... Sensations will become transparent and
crystal sharp clear.
At present the core center is gone... You write too much and have
too little rest. Your mind must have enough time to rest in
non-conceptuality of the 6 entries and exits. Otherwise it will not
be easy for you to penetrate further. After realizing the twofold
emptying there is no more boundaries between mind, appearances and
apparent objects and experience becomes seamless... All is mind or
this integrated activity. Then we should actualize and integrate
this realization.
In touching, both subject and object are both emptied and
deconstructed into a single activity of touch and the intensity of
luminous clarity must be strong... is it strong now? Or just like
passing thoughts with no intensity.
Now penetration of the 3 states is only supported by the
strength of your view and realization, not by the intensity of your
non-conceptual experience.
"In essence rainbow body is a realization..." Maybe actualization
of realization (would be better), in essence it is an actualized
state."
my comment: Dzogchen practitioners use the term 'Realization'
differently than I and Thusness, 'Realization' could mean something
like full actualization or Buddhahood for them and not just an
initial insight/recognition/experience.
